True breh. I wanted to limit it to 10 and I tried to keep it among artists that, (according to him) he was mostly influenced by.

Looking at his subject matter and where he's from that nikka had 2 be inspired by cube in some way

It's a near-classic imo, Section 80 is better.

The only album it's better than in the original post is TBA.

1 Me against the world BETTER
2 It was writtenUNQUESTIONABLY BETTER
3 Reasonable doubt BETTER
4 Stillmatic UNQUESTIONABLY BETTER
5 The blueprint BETTER
6 The chronic BETTER IN TERMS OF THE SONGS, BUT CHRONIC HAD A HUGE IMPACT WHICH MATTERS A LOT WHEN TALKING ABOUT BEST ALBUMS EVER AO CHRONIC WINS IN THE END
7 Illmatic UNQUESTIONABLY WORSE
8 The black album UNQUESTIONABLY BETTER
9 College dropout UNQUESTIONABLY BETTER
10 Ready to die CLOSE CALL

Thoughts?

As you can see from my thoughts above, GKMC is as good as any of them other than Illmatic. But you have 3 groups of people who would never agree:

1) Older people who always think older stuff is better
2) Young people just discovering classic Hip Hop not yet mentally mature enough to understand that albums in all genres get more and more praised over time and who don't hear enough groupthink to influence them into accepting GKMC as an all time classic
3) People with shytty taste


GKMC is the best Hip Hop album I've heard in a minimum of 5 years, probably at least 10 years if I have to think hard about it

it's the only album that's been released in the last few years that I can play through entirely without skipping a track - even now.

probably the best hip hop concept/story album of all time.

Just "Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst" is one of the best songs I've heard in the past 5 years or so, any genre.
